    lol Molly, you're always so positive and accepting of stuff so those "uh... what" glances to the camera were gold! It's funny because California is experimental in a really slick way, where the songwriting and production make it feel more "normal" than it is, but they really just went creatively wild on this one
    The Secret Song after Carry Stress in the Jaw has a cool story behind it! So while they were recording the album, the bassist discovered this song that the rest of the band had recorded without him. He decided to add these old man vocals all over it, all the comments like "they kicked me out of the band" and "I didn't get to play on it at all, no way!" Then the band kept the new vocals a secret from Mike until just before the album was released. And on the vinyl it was hidden on a separate groove running alongside Carry Stress in the Jaw, so you wouldn't know it was there until you tried to play that song and accidentally put it in the wrong groove and... what the hell is this? It's a secret!
    just a really fun project all round

      I didn't know that about the vocals on the secret song. Always thought it was Mike, and thanks for tip! Do you know if it's still pressed that way if one were to acquire this album on vinyl? I have their self-titled and Night They Came Home. I'm thinking soon I'll be trying to add Disco Volante & California.

    Honestly, one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s so out there in a way and vibe no one has ever replicated- and I’ve listened to a lot of music. It’s spooky and ominous, ridiculous, fun, and feels deeper than that all at the same time. Mike is a genius! So excited to see your reaction.

    When this album came out, somehow my other Bungle-fan friend and I got it in to our heads (remember that this was pre-modern-internet where things were way more... mysterious) that Patton had left the band and maybe only appeared on one or two tracks of Disco Volante, hence why it was so different to the self-titled album. For a few years I heard this album as the weird last-gasp of a dying 'just a few leftover members trying to keep it going' band.

    Clicked on the vid at light speed… Again, thank you for sharing your first-time listens for so many wonderful & weird groups! Your perspective on the vibes the music gives off are always interesting and sometimes unexpected & Disco Volante is obviously a goldmine for this lol. Really sad to hear recently that Mr. Bungle weren’t well received by audiences when they went on tour with Incubus & SOAD in 2000 given how much they influenced those groups, but when your hear how out-there they can get it makes sense.
    Also shout to not only Mike, but also Trevor Dunn & Trey Spruance who composed the majority of this :D (delightful weirdos, all of em)

    First off, love you checking out all these classics and having fun inputs on the music, makes for a good watch :)
    I'm not sure if this is a good place for recommendations, but you ,and Mr Bungle fans in general, might love Igorrr. They are kindof like a metal/electronic successor to Mr Bungle.
    Their album Savage Sinusoid is a total trip . For that album and the one after they have a more full band style. Before that they were a lot more electronic, and currently they are rebuilding with new members (no new recordings yet). If you feel like only doing one song, "Hummous" "Cheval" or "ieuD" are great ones to chose, music video especially, but whole album would be great too

    I've had The Bends on my Halloween playlist when I hand out candy to the kids for years. It's perfect, especially the end as it gets so loud compared to everything else. I may have scared away a kid or two over the years.
    Also, I heard someone describe the last couple of notes of Merry Go Bye Bye as the perfect intro to their next album California. Or they belonged on that album. Something like that, can't quite remember the details but the gist has always stuck with me, like that's what they planned to do next even though that album wouldn't come out for another four years. Makes sense to me.

    Probably my favorite album of all time. It has just about everything I love in music and it always takes me back to the special year I first listened to it extensively. It was the most difficult MB album for me to get into, but eventually began to speak to me like no other.

    In my head I always created the story since the album translated to 'flying saucer' that the band was originally approached by Tim Burton for his MARS ATTACKS movie. This is what they came up with and Burton in the end went with something more easily digestible for human ears.
    I can't imagine a major label today being so accommodating for something like Mr Bungle was back in the day. I guess if Taylor Swift wanted to do a Gregorian chant album they would.
    My fave tracks have always been the one's that included some death metal like 'Carry.....Jaw' and 'Merry.....Bye'.
    Those who like the cinematic flair of this. I definitely recommend the movie theme cover record, 'The Director's Cut', from another Patton project, the musical supergroup, Fantomas.

    19:14 - I haven't listened to this in years but... the more I listen to the back half the more I wonder if the sound effects here inspired Lil Ugly Mane on his beats, especially on albums like Oblivion Access.

  • @paleonneight5353
    @paleonneight5353 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was waiting for your reaction to this album, this band changed the way I see music and showed me that you don't need to be stuck in a traditional way of making music.
    The Bends is a collection of ambient interludes, they are called:
    I. Man Overboard
    II. The Drowning Flute
    III. Aqua Swing
    IV. Follow the Bubbles
    V. Duet for Guitar and Oxygen Tank
    VI. Nerve Damage
    VII. Screaming Bends
    VIII. Panic in Blue
    IX. Love on the Event Horizon
    X. Re-Entry
    An interesting fact is that Slipknot(very early on in 1996-1997) used to open their shows with one of these interludes(Nerve Damage and Screaming Bends). Mike Patton, Faith No More and Mr. Bungle himself inspired several bands in the new metal scene.

  • @user-om9qp2bp7n

    If you like this, check out his other work in bands such as Tomahawk(Mit Gas & Self Titled), Fantomas(The Director's Cut, (Suspended Animation) & Peeping Tom(Self Titled). Other like-minded artists of his are bands like Primus, Jane's Addiction, & Killing Joke.
    He's influenced literally everyone from Grunge to Nu Metal to Metal Core, even though he denys the Nu Metal comparisons. They are usually formulaic and he's not so I respect him for having the courage of being different, honest, unique, unpredictable, non - conforming, and having integrity in an industry that lacks daring music like this.

      @@mollyesanborn be prepared, the theme of the album is sexual innuendos.
      Mike Patton plays the man. Jennifer Charles (from Elysian Fields) is the other vocalist, she plays the sultry woman. And the album is produced by Dan The Automator who's most known for doing the Gorillaz and I think most recently did the current release by The Black Keys.

    i just love this album, it immediately clicked for me. Here's some stuff you might find interesting after listening to it:
    The secret song at the end of "Carry stress in the jaw" was recorded without their bassist knowing, so when he found the tapes he added these weird grandpa vocals to prank back the band.
    Even cooler, if you have the original vinyl pressing of the album "Carry Stress in the Jaw" and "Secret Song" are pressed directly next to each other, where the needle can either go to the one or the other song. So if you listen to the vinyl it might usually just go to "Carry stress in the jaw" or play the secret song once in a while, which is just so awesome. You could have the vinyl for a while just listen to it a few times and never realize that secret song is on there. On the cd they just put it right at the end of "Carry Stress in the Jaw" so when you skip through the tracks you also might miss that track.
    Violenza Domnestica is indeed italian and afaik is supposed to be a nod to "the Godfather" and describes a scene where a husband is abusing and cutting off the tongue of his wife. The asmr (in 1995 lol) also does a great job at keeping you on the edge with how close and intimite it makes you feel, cause its such a contrast.
    Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz is sung in a made up language that's just supposed to sound creepy or weird, you should definately google the lyric sheets for these tracks, cause they look more like a drawing with jumbled up words in between, it's great. you could get these lyrics by sending a dollar to their Po box and they would send you these lyric sheets and additional artwork you could glue into the booklet lol. Chemical Marriage is also using that language, Desert Search for Allah is actually using arabic from the quoran, Qyiamat a tawil, qyiamat insan al kamel, meaning "the great resurrection of the beginning, the great resurrection of the perfect man" (talking about Allah I believe)
    The bends is also about a diver not realizing he's been running low on oxygen, getting hallucinations and havng to go up, but doing so to quickly and dying to the bends. The whole album is mixed so well, cause it specifically is mixed quietly so the louder parts, especially at 17:40 are alot louder. I also love how the noise gets louder and louder until the diver dies and the noise just stops.
    Platypus was supposed to be on their self titled but didnt fit with the other tracks, like "Mr nice guy" from their demo. So they kept it and repurposed it for disco volante. (its not quite different from the scrapped demo, you can hear that in live versions)
    Another funfact about Merry go Bye bye is that the silence before the hidden track is actually the track nothing, which is credited to Lengyel and Heifetz in the booklet, cause they had no writing credits on the other tracks, so they just got credited for nothing, lol. The hidden track after is actually called noises.
    I love that even though you didnt exactly know what the tracks were about, you did realize that The bends is about diving cause it sounds like water and Merry go bye bye is about going up to heaven, (cause it actually is about s****e). I think this is where this album excells in, creating an atmosphere that is exactly what is promised in the title, (disco allah, violenza domnestica, after school special,...)
    25:00 That's actually John Zorn playing his trumpet. He is pretty well known for his band "naked city" with which he tried to push music to an extreme. If you havent yet, you should check out the self titled "naked city" album or "radio". (edit: actually yeah, on radio you will find alot of similarities with this album)

    On the album The Bends does have individual titles for all the parts. I lost the CD at the base of a cult when I stormed out, but remember that the first one is 'Man Overboard' and there's one called 'Panic in Blue', which is a great title.

    I was so happy to know the vocalist is involved with new projects recently. Portishead falls within the realm of 90's triphop adjacent female fronted bands with that very experimental, yet smooth sound with elements of hip hop, and generally eclectic and ambient kind of soothing artsy sounds xD probs why the name of the general genre.

    The end of Desert Search For Techno Allah sounds like it would fit really well in Dune. The lyrics are about the Peacock god and that 's an interesting thing. I love the lyric 'Dark tresses under the black light'. There's a reference (not in English) to the Perfect Human; wild theological stuff.
